Raymond Anthracite is a lawyer you do not want to underestimate..I have been dealing with multiple lawyers and Ray was by far the BEST so far. Even difficult cases he will be able to ensure a fair trial and actually win. If you are looking for an honest, approachable lawyer with lots of knowledge and who actually cares for the client Ray is your guy.

A peace order was filed against me. I went to Mr. Anthracite and he spoke to me with such calmness. He made me feel at ease. In court, he was able to prove that I didn’t do anything. I highly recommend his services.

Ray’s review: I had a great experience with Mr. Anthracite as my legal representation. I lost control of my vehicle and damaged a family’s fence and grass; while driving with expired registration. While I had provided the owner with all of my personal information and insurance, I foolishly left my vehicle after arranging for it to be towed. I did not realize that this would be a potentially incarcerable offense after my forthcomingness with the property owner. Nevertheless, I faced a multitude of fines and possible jail time. Ray was incredibly diligent and helpful in making sure that I did everything possible to lessen the severity of my offense. He routinely followed up on my deliverables, as well as on the important court date and location. I can’t recall where I learned about his services, but he was very reasonably priced when compared with many of the solicitations that I received in the mail. In the end, everything was dropped and I didn’t receive a single fine from the court. A happy ending, no doubt.

Ray is an amazing lawyer who takes plenty of time to know and understand the law, he was an absolute pleasure to work with and was able to to do what everybody had said was otherwise not possible. It is clear that Ray is incredibly passionate and educated about law.

He was very quick to return my calls and so easy to get ahold of. He worked with me tirelessly and walked me through with ease. He took care of my case and made sure nothing was missed. I wouldn’t have gotten through without him. I would highly recommend him and had a super great experience working with him. His price was reasonable and he never left me in the dark each step of the way leading up to the very date of court. A huge thank you to him for all his efforts and support.

Ray Anthracite Is Fair Enough A law school professor once chastised me as an erstwhile law student: “don’t to confuse “What is Fair” with “The Law.” The punch line: The lawyer was a Jesuit. Every now and again, you can find an attorney with both a reverence for “justice” that can handle legal matters with the compassion of a devotee. That is how I would describe Mr. Raymond Anthracite. I worked with Ray for over an 8-month period in relation to an escalating neighborhood dispute; If you are experiencing what may be deemed unjust or completely unsubstantiated civil complaints or spurious criminal claims, I strongly recommend you consult with Ray. Extensive Professional Experience I chose Ray for his practical expertise with surveillance and surveillance technologies that could be leveraged across multiple matters. Ray possesses the unusual combination of credentialing that poses a “triple threat” in both civil and criminal law: expertise in information technology, a Juris doctor and a little over a decade of litigation experience. Pre Court Room Many lawyers rely on the pomp and formality of their title or their standing within the State Bar association to humble their clients. During client intake, Ray quickly establishes a rapport with the client by explaining, in lay person’s terms, immediate and potential legal issues the client will face as well as the criminal procedure. He makes himself highly available on evenings and weekends as new facts emerge about a case. Ray’s professionalism towards me extends beyond a 5-star Martindale Hubble rating and his ethics in handling sensitive details of my case exceed the standards set by the State bar. Courtroom Many lawyers are good theoreticians but fall short when arguing a case before a Judge or a State panel. During discovery phases, Ray posits a case from all angles: “State’s Attorney”, “Victim”, “Defendant”, “Charging Officer” and “ Judge.” Further, on the hearing day, Ray takes the time to prepare each of the players regarding the facts of the case, his legal opinion of its relative merits and his arguments and rebuttals before it is ever heard. His knowledge of criminal procedure and the peculiarities of local jurisprudence make him aware of the subtle negotiation tactics that lead to my complete acquittal. Post Courtroom Post court, many lawyers never close the loop on their client’s rights. Ray provided detailed instructions on the steps I could take to maintain a clean record and provided immediate filing assistance at a reasonable cost. While Ray was not bound to provide any further legal advice, he kindly described the specific practical steps that I could take to avoid (or defend) any future encounters. I am impressed with all aspects of his criminal defense services. I strongly recommend that you retain Ray Anthracite.

If you are in trouble with your interlock system.. this is the man you want to go to! Not only was he gracious enough to take my phone call immediately in the morning (first thing after my 4th violation), he calmed me down and told me he would take care of this. Now I understand that lawyers cannot guarantee anything, but he eased my mind and took me out of panic mode; Which is exactly what I needed in that moment. He was then available to meet me after my hectic work schedule at 5:30pm, staying late to accommodate me in me time of need. He took every detail into consideration, responded to all of my texts and phone calls immediately and WON my case! Not only did he just get 1 violation off when I was facing being kicked out of the interlock program.. he got all 4 off wiping my slate clean! This man is intelligent and knows what he is doing in this business. He is who you want to call if you need help, and I am so happy I chose him!

Ray Anthracite was fabulous and I would recommend him to anyone. I needed a lawyer in an unusually short time frame and he responded quickly to my case and my needs, even meeting me during weekend hours. He listens with patience and attentiveness and made me feel assured and at ease with my case. His experience and knowledge gave me confidence to approach my court hearing, and he did a fabulous job defending me and the case was dismissed!

I contacted Mr. Anthracite’s law office after my son received a protective order in the very early hours of 11 August 2017. We met Mr. Anthracite in his office that afternoon, with a court date that was set within days, and he got down to business the moment we sat down. He provided the pros and cons of either fighting the order or consenting to it, and my son made the decision to fight it. We provided Mr. Anthracite a background history of the parties involved, and submitted all requested documentation throughout the weekend, and when the court date arrived he was definitely prepared! He handled our case with a precise thoroughness and professionalism that could not be matched, nor denied. We truly appreciate the expertise he provided, but we also appreciate the care and concern he displayed while handling our case. We highly recommend Mr. Anthracite to anyone needing to fight an unwarranted Protective or Peace Order. Thank you for a job well done!
